2026-09-30tools/nolibc: fix the function argument order of calloc()Thomas Weißschuh
As per the man page, the number of elements should be the first argument and the size of each one the second. Switch the arguments around. The behavior will not change, as both arguments are only multiplied with each other.

2026-09-30tools/nolibc: check for overflow in malloc()Danish Khateeb
malloc() adds the size of its header to the requested size without checking for overflow. For a size within the header size of SIZE_MAX, the sum wraps around to a few bytes, and malloc() returns a single page instead of NULL. calloc() checks its multiplication for overflow, but then passes the product to malloc(), so calloc(SIZE_MAX, 1) returns a single page too. So does realloc(ptr, SIZE_MAX). Such a size is usually a bug in the caller, for instance a length of -1 used as a size_t, and returning a page instead of NULL can turn it into a heap overflow. Fail with ENOMEM when adding the header overflows, as glibc does for sizes this large.

2026-09-30tools/nolibc: stop rounding malloc() sizes up to 4096 bytesDanish Khateeb
malloc() rounds the size of each mapping up to a multiple of 4096, presumably to align it to a page boundary. But the page size is not 4096 on all architectures, and mmap() and munmap() round the length up to the page size themselves. Drop the rounding. As heap->len is no longer rounded up, growing a block with realloc() now always creates a new mapping.

2026-09-27tools/nolibc: make 64-bit systemcall argument padding genericThomas Weißschuh
Several 32-bit architectures pass a 64-bit systemcall argument as two 32-bit values requiring alignment to an even register pair. This case is currently relevant for the ftruncate64() wrapper and handled by those architectures providing custom wrappers. With the introduction of pread() and pwrite() wrappers, the same pattern would lead to a lot of repeated code. Add a #define, so that the generic code can do the padding where necessary, without any per-architecture duplication.

Extend the existing parisc support to also handle 64-bit mode. Some peculiarities: * The nonstandard ftruncate64 system call requires a workaround. * The linker defaults to main() as entry point, which needs to be switched to _start() explicitly. * The linker defaults to dynamic linking, which needs to be disabled explicitly. * With the default -Os, gcc does not use 64-bit multiplication instructions, requiring libgcc. Use -O2 instead. * There is no qemu-user available. * CONFIG_COMPAT needs to be disabled to avoid build errors due to a missing 32-bit vDSO compiler.

2026-09-26tools/nolibc: fix FD_SET(), FD_CLR() and FD_ISSET() on 64-bitDanish Khateeb
Since commit feaf75658783 ("nolibc: fix fd_set type"), an fd_set is an array of unsigned long, but the FD_* macros still build their masks as an int or an unsigned int: 1 << n in FD_SET(), 1U << n in FD_CLR() and FD_ISSET(), where n is the fd modulo 64 on 64-bit architectures. So: - FD_SET() of an fd with n == 31 sets the bits for n = 31-63, as 1 << 31 is negative and gets sign-extended. - For n >= 32 the shifts are undefined. x86-64, for instance, masks the shift count, so FD_SET(40) and FD_ISSET(40) use the bit of fd 8. - FD_CLR() zero-extends ~(1U << n), so it also clears the bits for n = 32-63, whichever fd it is given. select() on fd 40, for instance, fails with EBADF, or watches fd 8 instead if that one is open. Build the masks from 1UL.

2026-09-26tools/nolibc: fix readdir_r() with 64-bit directory offsetsDanish Khateeb
readdir_r() stores the result of _sys_lseek() in an int. Directory offsets are opaque cookies which can use all 64 bits: ext4, for instance, gives 64-bit processes 63-bit hashes, and 0x7fffffffffffffff as the offset after the last entry. Truncated to an int, such an offset is negative about half the time, and readdir_r() takes it for an error. Since commit 4ada5679f18d ("tools/nolibc/dirent: avoid errno in readdir_r"), readdir_r() fails at the first entry whose offset has bit 31 set, which on ext4 is usually one of the first few, and returns the truncated offset as the error number. Before that, only -1 counted as an error, which the last entry always hits: readdir_r() then returned errno, usually 0, without filling in the entry, so the caller got the previous entry a second time and never saw the last one. 32-bit processes get 31-bit hashes from ext4 and are not affected. Keep the offset in an off_t.

2026-09-24tools/nolibc: fix verrx() and errx() message formattingDanish Khateeb
verrx() passes its va_list to warnx() instead of vwarnx(). warnx() is variadic, so it takes the va_list as its first and only argument, and the conversions in the format string print the va_list itself and then whatever is left in the following argument slots. On x86_64, for instance, errx(1, "int args: %d %d %d", 1, 2, 3); prints something like "int args: -1699009032 1 2", where the first number comes from the address of the va_list and changes from run to run, and errx(1, "%d %s", 1234, "foo"); crashes with SIGSEGV, as "%s" takes a leftover argument slot for the string. errx() goes through verrx(), so every message with arguments printed by either of them is wrong. Call vwarnx() from verrx(), as verr() calls vwarn().

2026-09-24tools/nolibc: fix WIFSIGNALED() for status 0Danish Khateeb
WIFSIGNALED() needs the subtraction to wrap around for status 0, so that only 1 to 0xff, a terminating signal with or without the core dump flag, pass the check. But status is an int, and 0 - 1 is -1, which is less than 0xff. A child that exits with 0 is therefore reported as both exited and killed, and a caller that tests WIFSIGNALED() first sees "killed by signal 0". Make the subtraction unsigned, as musl does in the same macro.

2026-04-27tools/nolibc: add __nolibc_arg_to_reg()Thomas Weißschuh
In the architecture specific system call glue, all arguments are currently casted to 'long' to fit into registers. This works for pointers as 'long' has the same size as pointers. However the system call registers for X32 and MIPS N32 need to be 'long long' to work correctly for 64-bit values expected by the system call ABI. Casting a pointer to a 'long long' will produce a compiler warning while casting 64-bit integers to 'long' will truncate those. Add a helper which can be used to correctly cast both pointers and integers into 'long long' registers. Cast the pointers through 'unsigned' to avoid any sign extensions. Both builtins have been available since at least GCC 3 and clang 3.

2026-04-27tools/nolibc: also handle _llseek system callThomas Weißschuh
On some architectures the llseek system call contains a leading underscore. Treat it the same way as llseek and prefer it over the plain lseek system call as is necessary for 64-bit offset handling.

2026-04-27tools/nolibc: Don't use stack protector before setting it upDaniel Palmer
The stack protector is configured in _start_c() so we shouldn't use it before then. Add __nolibc_no_stack_protector to _start_c() to avoid the compiler generating stack protector code for _start_c() and thus using it before its configured.

2026-04-27tools/nolibc: Rename __no_stack_protector to __nolibc_no_stack_protectorDaniel Palmer

2026-04-27tools/nolibc: avoid call to wcslen() in _start_c() inserted by clangThomas Weißschuh
Clang may convert the loop to find _auxv into a call to wcslen() which is missing on nolibc. -fsanitize needs to be disabled for this to happen. Use the same pattern as in the nolibc strlen() implementation to avoid the function call generation.

2026-04-27tools/nolibc: make __nolibc_enosys() a compile time errorThomas Weißschuh
Functions which are known at compile-time to result in ENOSYS can be surprising to the user. For example using old UAPI headers might mean that stat() will always fail although the kernel would have the system call available at runtime. Nowadays __nolibc_enosys() should never be called for normal applications. Switch the silent ENOSYS return into a compile-time error, so the user is aware about the issue. Prefer the 'error' attribute as it provides the best diagnostics. If the users defines NOLIBC_COMPILE_TIME_ENOSYS the old, silent fallback is kept. Also add a test which validates that the error can be optimized away.
